ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves dominated in Game 1 of the World Series against the Houston Astros. They are going to need a solid outing from lefty Max Fried Wednesday in Game 2.
With Charlie Morton's injury early in Tuesday's game, the Braves' bullpen needs a rest.
"This is what you dream about as a kid," Fried said ahead of the game. "From the time I started playing, you dream about playing in the World Series."
He said he's got to focus on executing pitches and focus on what got them there.
